Missing fonts in 1.4.2_06 JRE?

I was doing a file compare between 1.4.2_05 and 1.4.2_06
and I noticed that the following TrueType fonts are missing from 1.4.2_06...
LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf
Was this done intentionally or is it a mistake. If it is intentional, why was it done?

If there's no answer, asking a question doesn't mean that it'll get answered.
Ask Sun the questions, they make the decisions about the changes in Java.
Check out the functionality yourself, no one appears willing to do the research for you.

How do I find where a missing font was used?

For an example, download the Property Owner Application form from http://www.atlantahousing.org/housingchoice/landlords/index.cfm?Fuseaction=forms
When opened in LiveCycle Designer, I get a message that Kozuka Gothic Pro-VI M (Regular) is missing. I don't see a way of searching for a font in LiveCycle, so I opened it up in Illustrator, thinking I would get a missing font message ... but I didn't. And when opened in regular Acrobat and looking at the Properties > Fonts list, it doesn't appear there either.
It's not causing any problem that I can see, but I'd like to get rid of it. Or maybe this is a font used by the application for some special symbol? Anyone khow to find it, or what's going on?

Hi,
I haven't downloaded the form, but if you can open the form in LC Designer then go to the XML Source tab and do a search there for "Kozu". If the font is used, it will definetly show up in the XML Source. Note that while in XML Source you will be able to look up and down and identify the object that contains the font.
If you find it there, amend it for something else like Myriad Pro and see what happens.
Good luck,
Niall

Missing fonts in CS4 – how to install?

Hi all,
Apologies for asking a question that I've seen posted and answered, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler solution than the plug-in suggested.
I have lost a few of the fonts I regularly use. They appear in Font Book and are enabled, but they are not available in InDesign. The missing fonts are available to me in other programs (e.g Word) so they are definitely on the system.
I was given advice to check in Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > InDesign > Fonts, but there is no folder called "InDesign" within the Adobe folder of that path, so I don't know if that was good advice.
Of course (always the way, isn't it?) I've noticed this problem one week out from my deadline to the printer, so would really appreciate resolving it quickly.
Thank you in advance,
Andrew

Well, if your goal is to make the problem go away without
understanding it, thus reducing the liklihood you'll understand the
cause and prevent it from recurring in the future...
"Sometimes they get sleepy" is an attitude that really bothers me at a
deep level. Programs shouldn't break. And when they do, we should make
the effort to understand why they do. And report those problems back
to the manufacturers, who should be given the opportunity to fix
them. Even if we think they won't.
Programs break for reasons. Sometimes complicated and tricky
reasons. Sometimes reasons we can't actually figure out. But sometimes
reasons that we can. And we need to take the effort to figure out
why. Or at least try to a reasonable effort.
It is our moral duty. Otherwise the programmers who author the
software will have no opportunity to fix the problems, and thousands
of user across this green earth will be forced to deal with the same
problems we deal with regularly, for years and years, all because no
one was willing to take the minimal effort to figure out what was
broken and why.
Don't lie down and say "oh, it just broken again, I accept that i have
to jump through this hoop to fix it periodically." That's just not the
way it should work, and it doesn't have to be that way.

Photoshop CC: Missing Fonts on Startup, only a few fonts are displayed as replacement options

I have a Photoshop document which uses some Fonts that I don't have on my Windows PC. When I open the document, I get a Dialog Box called "Missing Fonts", which states:
"Some fonts used in this document are missing. You can sync matching fonts from Typekit, or replace missing fonts with a default or different font used in this document"
This text suggests that I can only replace missing fonts with other fonts already being used in this document. However, I want to replace a missing font with a font that is not yet used in this document. Why can I only replace a missing font with another font already used in the document? For example, I want to replace "Helvetica Neue" with "Liberation Sans", however Liberation Sans is not offered in the Dropdown box, even though it is installed, as it is not yet used in the document. What is the point of only allowing to replace a missing font with a font that is already used in the document, and not with any font installed on the system??
Thanks,
best regards,
Chris

I'm a windows user so I do not know the Adobe Photoshop environment on the Mac or the versions of Mac OS. The only suggestion I could make would then be try using Adobe Cleaner to clean off Photoshop then install Photoshop Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
I have a document that previously had no font issues at all. Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed.
I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular. And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files. No Joy.
I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up. Nada.
If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
RP

Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
Never had to do that before.
Would be great to get back to 'normal'. If possible.
Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions. But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
RP
p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around. That didn't work either.

How to Change the (Missing) Font in Endnotes

Hello and thanks (again) in advance,
My preflight report showed that I have 170 errors: they are all missing fonts in the numbers of the endnotes.
Some of the Endnotes are in the Times New Roman Font, but for some reason, 170 endnotes are not. This is a font problem with the "number" part of the endnotes -- the text in the endnotes is all Times New Roman.
What I would like to do is to change the font from the missing one (Cambria Regular) to Times New Roman.
The endnotes were imported when I placed this MS-Word document into InDesign.
Here's what I tried, that failed:
1. Fix the font problem when I opened the file, and InDesign showed missing fonts. (This fixed the fonts -- changed them from Cambria to Times New Roman) for all the text, but did not touch the numbers in the endnotes.
2. Search and Replace for the number of the Endnote -- the numbers were ignored by the search.
3. Search and Replace for the number of the Endnote, with the "Include Footnotes" button highlighted
4. Search and Replace for Cambia Regular text (although I might not have done that correctly.) ... I left the "Find What" box blank, and in the "Find Format" box I selected Cambria Regular. ... Nothing was found.
5. I deleted one of the numbers -- endnote 202 -- "by hand", and then retyped the number. This did change the font, but it had the bad effect of ruining the endnote numbering system: it made the next endnote (number 203) below it into number "1" and the endnote after that "2"
Also, I wondered if it "broke" the entire endnote system -- If there is some connection between the number that I deleted, and the corresponding superscript number in the text itself.
Here (below) is a screen shot of my pre-flight report.
You can see that some of the numbers in the endnotes, (for example: 200 and 202) are in the correct font; but endnote numbers 201, 203, 204 are not in Times New Roman.
I am stuck ... Suggestions are welcome and appreciated !
ZtG

Since ID doesn't really support endnotes, I suspect they were imported as a numbered list, particulary considering the uselectablility and find/change sympotoms you describe. Bullets and numbers in lists aren't "real" characters that can selected.
Find font should probably have done the trick if the numbers were assigned a style in the list definition AND you checked the update styles when changing all box in Find Font, so I'm also going to guess that you either didn't check the box or there is no style assigned to the numbers (and I suppose it's possible they aren't really a list).
The best solution would be, I think, to first verify that they the endnotes are a list, and to assign a character style to the numbers.

How to avoid missing font dialog box(alert) while running the script??

Hi....
     In Illustrator CS4 ,I tried to skip missing font dialog box(alert box) by using the following script .But,I could not skip the dialog box
So if you have any suggestion about this let me know..
tell application "Finder"
set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
    set fileName to (path to desktop folder as string) & "fer11757_f1208.eps"
    --set user interaction level to never interact
    --    set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
    open file fileName
    --set alert missing fonts to true
    set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
end tell
display dialog ("completed")
end tell
Thanks,
Mubeen

Does this NOT error when run? Your target application here is 'Finder' Apple's system file browser and you are giving it Adobe illustrator commands?
Im not 100% about the versioning with Illustrator installs I think they are all just…
Tell application "Adobe Illustrator" -- No CS Versioning?
     -- do stuff here
end tell
you could check by just picking the app from this list
choose application

Is there a way to automate missing fonts in thousands of small pdf's for print

Greetings,
We are receiving thousands of small PDF's from several differnet locations with missing fonts. The controller on the printer is having to perform
font substitution on each page. This causes the printer to cycle and not run at rated speed.
I am wondering is there a way to have these files insert all the missing fonts before they reah the controller on the printer?
Thank you so much.
HDRDR

There are tools out in the market which should be able to embed and fix missing fonts. You might look at something like PitStop server.
If no commercial product is out there, you might talk to the developers of such tools for a customization.
Hope this can help.

Missing Fonts in Illustrator CS4

I have been having an issue with the "missing font"
My problem is that Illustrator recognizes the fonts sometimes and not other times. I have had no problems for the past week or so and I just restarted my computer and now a number of fonts that worked fine suddenly are replaced with the "missing font" default.
The fonts I'm currently concerned with are all in the default LaTeX family (i.e. cmr10, cmmi10, cmbx10, etc...) I have all of them installed on my computer and they work fine in every other application.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or how I can solve this problem? Why does illustrator "lose" them and how do I get them back? !!
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I'm actually using Windows 7 and in the mean time my illustrator "found" the fonts again (still can't figure out why). I don't know how well the solutions for the Mac OS will work but I'll take a look. If anyone else comes up with an answer I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!

Missing fonts in Windows InDesign CC'14 vs OSX

We are a school with about 500 Windows 7 machines. We also have an iMac suite (about 25 strong). We have a Creative Cloud subscription and have deployed it to all of our computer suites and our iMac suite. CC 2014 versions of the relevant products have all been pushed out, so there should be parity between the two platforms.
Our problem is that our Windows clients are outright missing 90% of the TrueType fonts that are available on the OSX (Mavericks) clients. Most of the Media classes are taken in the iMac suite, and therefore the majority of their content has been created in there, but two or three times per week the classes rotate to a Windows suite. Some students are encountering issues where fonts are missing after opening their INDDs in InDesign for Windows.
I discovered that InDesign for OSX has vastly more fonts than on its Windows counterpart, specifically of the TrueType variety. About 90% of the TrueType fonts on Windows were missing. As far as I could tell, all of the OpenType fonts matched.
Students get the follow dialogue when they launch InDesign with a missing font:
So yeah, that's my issue. I've literally spent all afternoon researching this issue to no avail and am pretty much stumped at this point.
Any help and advice will be more than appreciated!
Thanks for reading.

Early on in the life of Mac OS X (which has been around for over 10 years in multiple versions—we're now at 10.10), Apple advertised how many beautiful fonts were available with Mac OS X. And, it's true, they do install a lot of TrueType fonts.
Microsoft provides much fewer. As far as I can tell, most of them are installed with you install Microsoft Office products.
It's just the way it is.
I guess you could show students a list of the fonts installed with Creative Cloud apps (Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, etc.). You could also teach them about downloading Typeset fonts (although they won't be able to carry those to another location which doesn't have a CC subscription).

Missing fonts in Keynote file : how to replace them ?

When opening a Keynote file that had fonts not installed on the system, an alert window used to open.
You could then easily replace the missing fonts with other ones installed.
Not anymore !
The alert window still appears in Keynote V6, but the "replace font" option is missing.
Does anyone know a workaround ?

yeah, I tried the whole modifying the master slide thing but the missing fonts aren't on there, they would have come from slides I deleted as well or already replaced the fonts on so not sure why they are lingering....
oh wait...I think I might have just figured out something. The whole "revert to previous version" wouldn't that have something to do with still remembering fonts used in a previous version? I'm going to try and see if I can duplicate the current document in some way that makes it a new version with no history in it.
Other than that I was going to try exporting to '09 do the replace fonts tool that was in there and then open it back up but I'll have to modify the transitions and shadows that were new to current version of keynote.

Missing fonts in cs4

Hello All,
I have installed CS4 on my XP desktop after uninstalling CS2 completely and I am now having some font missings from the applictation.
Although the font name like "Arial Black" already exist on the PC but its not finding it. When I open an existing Indesign CS2 file( I am getting an error message saying few fonts are missing and then a find a font box coming up with missing font names marked with yellow !.
I dont know how to add these fonts back into the CS4.
Someone advised me to delete all "adobefnt*.LST" files but this did not work either for me.
Please can you advise how to do this?
Thanks
S

Fonts are never unloaded when installing software. In the case of Arial Black, go to Arial, and see if Black has been added to the Arial family (where you see Bold, Italic, etc.). As well, Adobe software will sometimes sort files differently than other applications, so look carefully though the list to see if the ones you are missing are sorted somewhere else.
Fonts are often loaded with software, and probably this has happened with CS4 (I am on CS3). You might have gotten new versions of some of your old fonts. This could cause the problems you are seeing in ID. I think you can just tell the files to update to the new versions, if this is the case.

Missing Font, But Font Isn't In the Document

Hello,
We're all using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7.
My client and I are receiving the good old missing fonts error message, specifically:
The "ITC Stone Serif Std Medium Ital Italic" Font is not available.
It will be replaced by "Times New Roman Italic".
The "ITC Stone Sans Std Semibold" Font is not available.
It will be replaced by "Times New Roman".
First, the fonts are installed.
Second, Remember Missing Font Names is turned OFF. (Unchecked, cleared, etc.)
Third, the fonts are NOT in the document. I have saved the document as MIF. I have searched for the font names. Nothing. When I open the MIF file in FM, I don't get an error. But I save it as a .fm file, open it, and I receive the same error messages.
We don't use these fonts. We don't want them in our documents. I'm doing a massive clean up to get rid of old formats. About half of the files do not have any problems, but half do. I have tried everything:
- Generating a list of fonts. If the fonts are found, then I go in and manually apply the Default Para Font. Usually, doing this removes the font from the list of fonts. However, I still get the messages.
- Importing formats from a known good file.
- Editing the MIF, to the point of removing the entire paragraph, character, font, and table catalogs. (I started by deleting references to ITC Stone x, then went on to the more drastic measures.)
- Changing the default printer.
- Copying the text and pasting it into blank files based on known good files.
- I tried editing the maker.ini file to substitute fonts directly, but that didn't work. I may have been doing that wrong, though.
I've got over 10 years of FM experience, and I've never encountered a font problem that editing the MIF couldn't fix.
All of the documents came over from Frame 6. They're all in the same book.
We need to be able to work on the book file as an entity, without having to open the files that contain errors and leave them open.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you very much!
~Robyn

I found the problem, but I'm not sure why it was a font problem to begin with:
Unresolved cross-references.
FM couldn't open all of the files in the book. Therefore, it couldn't update cross-references. It "thought" cross-references were unresolved.
I figured this out by deleting one page at a time from a Bad file. Then, I deleted one paragraph at a time from the Bad pages to determine that the cross-references were causing the problem.
I was cleaning up the book - deleting paragraph, character, cross-reference, table, and conditional text formats and master and reference pages. I then imported formats from a known Good file. The more files FM could open without errors, the fewer font errors I received. After I was able to generate/update the book, the font errors were gone.
Some of the font calls were on a reference page that was found only in select files. However, one would think that would show up in the MIF.
My best guess is that FM couldn't update the cross-reference formats without updating the cross-references, so it "thought" the text was still in the wrong font. That begs the question: Which came first, the unresolved cross-references or the missing fonts?
Of course, it doesn't explain why FM was complaining about a font that is installed.
Thank you everyone who took the time to answer. I'm sure this won't be the last time I run into this problem, and now I'll have a lot more knowledge for next time.

List missing fonts in Illustrator

Hi all,
I've been working on a script to try and build a list of font's that not loaded in Illustrator. I know that Illustrator will alert missing fonts when a document is opened but this routine will be part of a larger script that will have the user dialogs turned off. My process is to build a list of fonts that are available to the the application, then build a list of fonts that are used within the active document and cross reference them to see if there are document fonts that are not in the application fonts list.
I have used a great function that I believe was posted originally by Moluapple and with some some brilliant advice from the always helpful CarlosCanto I thought that I had found the soultion but it appears to have some limitations. If I get a list of fonts available to the application and the document that I want to cross reference them against is open, the list that's returned contains fonts that are used in the document. Then when I get a list of fonts used in the document and cross reference them they will all be in the application list regardless of whether they're loaded or not.
The only way that I can get accurate results are if I run the script without any documents open and build a list of application fonts, then open a document and build a list of document fonts and then cross reference. This is the only way I can find out what fonts aren't loaded.
Does anybody know of another way to build a list of missing fonts without having to close documents first? I have searched through the XMP data and this doesn't seem to give me any clues and I've tried writing the code in applescript but it appears to work in the same way. Any help or comments would be welcome.
Here's my code:
#target illustrator
var doclist = app.textFonts
var appFontList = new Array ();
for (i=0;i< app.textFonts.length; i++){
    var fontName = app.textFonts[i].name;
    appFontList[i] = fontName;
var myfile = File.openDialog ('Choose a file');
app.open (myfile);
var docFontsList = getUsedFonts(activeDocument);
// function accredited to Moluapple
function getUsedFonts (doc ){
     var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString);
     fontsInfo = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontName");
     var ln = fontsInfo.length(), arr = [];
     for (var i = 0; i<ln; i++){arr.push(fontsInfo[i])};
     return arr;
var missingFontsList = checkFonts();
alert(missingFontsList);
function checkFonts(){
    var fontArray = new Array ();
    for (i=0; i < docFontsList.length; i++){
        var thisDocFont = docFontsList[i];
        var activeFont = false;
        for (j = 0; j < appFontList.length; j++){
            var thisAppFont = appFontList[j];
            if (thisDocFont == thisAppFont){
                activeFont = true;
        if (activeFont == false){
            fontArray.push (thisDocFont);
    return fontArray;

Mark,
you are a legend!!!!
with yours and Carlos' help I think I have raged against the system that is Adobe and come out victorious!!!!!!!!
I Finally have a script that doesn't tell me lies.
Building a list of fonts that are available from InDesign, then building a list of fonts that the active Illustrator document is using and comparing the 2 lists I've managed to locate the fonts that aren't active. I'm sure the script could have some fine tuning but hopefully it might help others who just want to know if fonts are missing before creating a PDF that contains false font information.
Thanks again all,
Nik

Missing Fonts in PDF

Hello everybody
I have a font problem somwhere in the chain Powerpoint->PDF->InDesign. When i Import the generated PDF, InDesign is reporting missing fonts in it. Now, there is a difference in which and where the fonts are missing (11 vs 31 errors) depending on which way i use to generate the PDF
a) via "publishing as PDF" from Powerpoint 2010
b) via "Print as" using the PDF printer
When checking the PDF's, i can see that corresponding fonts were embedded into the PDF (it might be that there is some confusion about naming of these fonts. For instance, PDF reports an embedded font "Arial" with "Actual name: ArialMT" while Indesign is simply missing "Arial", without any further information except that it has the status "not embedded").
Strangely, there also are missing fonts that i can find nowhere in the Powerpoint file (But several people worked on this presentation). I tried several versions and installations of Windows/Powerpoint/InDesign, without luck.
Workaround for now is export all slides as PNG. Any ideas what i can do to solve this problem?
Many thanks for assistance,
Andreas

Part of your problem is associated with PowerPoint 2010.
Microsoft's "save as PDF" leaves a bit to be desired at best.
Acrobat 9 (and obviously the earlier versions of Acrobat) do not support any of the Office 2010 components via the PDFMaker component.
If you print to the "Adobe PDF" PostScript printer driver instance from PowerPoint 2010 to create PDF, make sure you use joboptions that embed all fonts. The "out of the box" Standard joboptions do not do that. Try High Quality Print joboptions instead.
(The next full version of Acrobat will fully support PDFMaker with Office 2010! Even then, it will be critical to set joboptions that embed all fonts with no exceptions!)
